Chronic TMJ Pain

Hello, doctor, I am suffering from chronic TMJ and experiencing a lot of pain in my jaw and ear. I am wearing a soft TMJ splint made by my maxillofacial surgeon, but even after wearing it for 2 months, I am not seeing any results. I am a NEET aspirant, so next month is my exam, but due to this immense pain, I cannot focus on my studies. Hot and cold compressions decrease the pain but only for some time. Only painkillers (NSAIDs) reduce the pain significantly. However, I have heard that NSAIDs cause kidney problems if taken for a long time. So, I want to know, is it safe to consume any painkiller for straight one month? Is there any other alternative safe medicine that I can take for reducing the pain? I don't want my exam to be affected by my pain. Please help me. Thank you.
